NAMM 2013: Wampler Announce Tom Quayle Signature Pedal

Wampler Pedals has announced an exciting new addition to its
ever growing line of boutique effects. The new Wampler Dual Fusion
is designed and built with Guitar Interactive's very own Tom
Quayle.

Tom was on hand at the show to demonstrate the features and
sounds of this exciting new pedal. Watch the video below....

Wampler say this about the new pedal:

Sometime in mid 2011 we received an email
from Tom Quayle showing an interest in
our pedals. So, after some discussion Tom bought a Euphoria and a Paisley Drive. From the moment he plugged
them in, his tone had been taken a huge step forward.

When playing high energy Fusion, you need dirt that follows
every move you make. It needs to allow the guitar to work and
respond perfectly, and with Wampler Pedals, Tom found
this.

When we got to meet Tom in person that following January in
NAMM, a discussion took place where Tom told us what he loved about
that combination and what wasn't quite working. We loved his
thoughts. At the show, a concept was born that took just over 12
months to be realized. Once you get to know Tom, you notice two
things. Firstly, his playing is out of this world. His knowledge of
this fretboard and immaculate phrasing makes him one of the stand
out Fusion guitarists playing today. Secondly, he's just a good
guy. Some may say he's a Gentleman; basically - he's the type of
player, the type of person, we like and the type of person we are
proud to work closely with.

So, what was that idea? It was quite simple (well, it
appeared that way). Take those two circuits, highlight the most
usable tones, modify them extensively to ensure that they stack
perfectly and then put them in the the same box. Also, make the
stacking switchable... C1 into C2, or C2 into C1. While you are
there, seperate them with dedicated inputs/outputs should you use a
looper switching system. Basically, make it as versatile and
useable as possible.

Upon receiving the first proto type, Tom said "The major
improvement is just how amp-like the response is. In that
department I have never played a pedal that is as good as this. It
sounds exactly like a gainy tube amp and feels like one too. It's
very exciting and fun to play through - you totally forget that
you're playing a pedal."
